King’s journalism students have won gold and silver medals in the Canadian Online Publishing Awards.
Gold honours for Best Article or Series went to The Signal, a news website produced by a team of senior King’s Journalism students for their investigative series Overburdened which looked at the under-resourced mental health systems in Nova Scotia and P.E.I.
Silver honours went to The Signal for Best Video Content for the final newscast of 2016: The ‘holiday rush’ to volunteer, pinball’s comeback, hot dancing downtown and much more.
The awards, produced by Masthead magazine, were given out on November 14 at the Double Tree Hilton in Toronto.
